58.4 83.9 kph, sharp turn again from length, Fakhar plays down the wrong line. Was he expecting the googly? Lunged for it and played way outside. Enough gap for the ball to sneak in to hit him just below the knee roll. There wasn't much bounce so height was never going to be in question. Ball tracking confirms this would've gone on to smash into leg. Australia have a big breakthrough at the stroke of tea. What a disappointment, Fakhar falls short of a maiden century. But he's played wonderfully well. Rare lapse in concentration with the tea interval imminent. Labuschagne's legend as a partnership breaker takes another small step. 204/6

It was full swinging into the pads, he clipped it firmly off the bat straight to Labuschagne at short leg, it hit him in the inner thigh, dropped onto his right knee as he folded down, it bobbled into the calf, he scooped it up with his right hand and it stopped between his legs as he rolled onto his back!

21.2 86.5 kph, has this lobbed off an inside edge to short leg? Australia have reviewed. S Ravi was firm in saying not-out. Let's see. There's turn, sharp one at that and there's a very slight deflection onto the pad off an inside edge, or so it appeared. Even before the catch was taken, Paine was pretty sure there was a thin edge. Snicko says there was clearly a spike and so Australia have three wickets in four balls. Excellent decision to go for the review. Could've been a tricky one considering they've already lost one, but they went with it and now stand vindicated. Real trouble for Pakistan. 57/4

He leaves a huge gap between bat and pad, the ball breaks in to beat his swing and crash into the stumps. Lyon can't believe what he's just seen. Sensational morning, a morning of madness.

20.1 128.4 kph, Huge LBW shout! Not out! Pakistan review. Good length nipping back and hit the back leg after missing the inside edge. Ball tracking says hitting! This is out! Plumb. Beautiful length, Abbas again nipping back into Marsh who has struggled with him all series, missed the inside edge as he defended from the crease, hit the back leg. Richard Illingworth maybe thought it was too high on first glance but Hawkeye had it hitting leg stump flush and comfortably below bail height. 77/3

46.2 132.9 kph, caught behind trying to pull! Given out! Labuschagne reviews immediately. This was a surprise short ball that got up very quickly, he tried to pull but it was slightly higher than chest high, beat him for pace and bounce, got a little feather of a top edge, there's a spike on ultra-edge! The decision stands. Ten for Abbas. What a performance! 155/8

22.5 132.9 kph, Clean bowled! He let this go and it crashed into off stump! What was he thinking not offering a shot here?! This was a good length, just outside off, tailing back, he had to play, opted not to, and just waited to listen to the loud timber rattle. It knocked off stump out! Abbas took off in celebration. Incredible bowling 78/5

39.5 90.9 kph, pinned right in front of the stumps. Starc went back into the crease to defend, but this one spun back in sharply to hit him in front of middle and leg. Should've played forward, made the grave mistake of playing back and then even reviewed it. What a waste, no inside edge and he's a goner. Set him up beautifully. 145/6

41.3 84.8 kph, drifting in, pitching on leg, spinning away sharply to square Siddle up. Looked straightforward and S Ravi had no doubts whatsoever. Siddle consulted with his partner and decided to walk off. This is a terrific exhibition of legspin bowling by Yasir Shah. Pakistan just two away from victory. 151/7

49.4 88.2 kph, caught at slip!Game over! This was a nicely shaped leg break outside off, he tried to drive, got a thick edge that flew low to second slip who pouched the catch easily at knee high. 164/10

18.3 to Head, 130.3 kph, edged and caught behind! Beautiful bowling from around the wicket. This was angling in but a fifth stump line, he didn't heed to play, it just straightened a touch off the seam, he pushed at it, feathered a little nick through to Rizwan and he accepted his first catch gleefully! 71/2

22.2 to Finch, 131.9 kph, Huge LBW shout and out! No review. This is plumb. Great tactics and bowling. Keeper up keeping Finch in his crease after he had been batting well out of his ground. It was the perfect length, nipping back past the inside edge as he thrust his bat forward. Hit him flush on the knee roll infront of middle and off. A simple decision for the umpire. Abbas on fire! 78/4

1.3 to SE Marsh, 131.3 kph, bowled him! What a seed this is! This is a jaffa. Angled in towards off, perfect length, it pitched and went away a fraction off the seam, beat the outside edge as he defended and clipped the top of off stump. Magnificent piece of bowling. 10/1
